Yale Launches YaleSites 2.0 with New Features and Improvements
Yale has released YaleSites 2.0, a significant upgrade to its Drupal-based web platform, developed in collaboration with the It’s Your Yale web team and vendor partner Four Kitchens. The update introduces features aimed at improving content organization, navigation, and layout flexibility, based on feedback and research from the Yale community. Key additions include Content Collections, which enable intuitive two-level navigation and better content grouping, and new multi-column section layouts that support more dynamic page designs.
The update expands media capabilities with WEBP support, refines the WYSIWYG editor, and improves the Block Picker layout for content editors. Navigation updates include enhanced breadcrumb functionality and a new Utility Navigation Group with support for up to 10 links. Responsive design improvements ensure a cleaner mobile presentation.
YaleSites 2.0 also introduces enhanced content blocks such as Grand Hero, Accordion, Tile, and Image Banner with improved customization and accessibility features. Post content types now include automatic estimated read times, teaser fields, and social sharing tools. Administrative tools have been upgraded with features like event integration sync, bulk taxonomy management, and improved admin form labels.
Bug fixes address issues with email delivery, hover styling, color contrast, and accessibility for keyboard users and the AI chatbot. For full release details and access to the YaleSites Product Roadmap, visit the YaleSites website.
